The disk of dark matter surrounding the Milky Way is about 2 million light-years in diameter.

It is present in all vertebrates.

Most fungi develop as hyphae, which are cylindrical, thread-like structures 2-10 µm in diameter and up to several centimeters long.

A mushroom called Hydnellum peckii growing in North America, Europe and Asia, secretes a red, bloody substance on a white cap.

Most of the dunes are located near the equator.

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb nanostructure (an intermediate-sized structure between microscopic and molecular structures).

It is almost as old as our Universe.
